Re: [Pyparsing] need help building parsing framework for disability access tool

I am by no means what you would call an expert in language definition nor
python; I just had the need to use a parser for a "mini language" that sure
enough, turned into an almost full fledged one. I tried about three
solutions (all in python) and ended up using pyparse and loving it!

I found a book on pyparse, whether it was free online or ... I'm not sure.

Oh, and by the way; this tool and the book is written in a very friendly
"alien" dialect. Please restate your original question as I missed your
original post. I can send you some of my code if you need.
